Summary: This book discusses the issues surrounding the promotion of community self-help. How people can be persuaded to take more control of their own lives continues to be a subject of policy and academic debate, and the contribution of active citizens to improving societal well-being is high across different policy agendas. The book is based on detailed real-life evidence from over 100 community groups, each trying to combat neighbourhood problems. It builds on and challenges existing thinking on contested debates, and proposes ways forward for community building.
